Show here your Germanic warrior impression

[Harjaz]

Hello

I just wanted to show you all my Germanic warrior impression. The clothing is based off finds from Thorsberg and Marx Etzel. The belt is a typical 'achterschnalle' belt. I also have a large utility knife, a fire starting kit, small scissors (these are believed to show that one owned slaves), as well as my personal pouch with various items (several roman denarii, a hairpin for a suebian knot, a game dice, and other odds and ends). My sword is a captured (or gained through service in the roman imperial guard) Roman spatha. My spear is a larger lance, and these spearheads fell out of use during the Romano-Germanic war (12bc to 17 AD). My warrior type is one that would ideally be classified as 'cavalry', but some experts believe that some chieftains only rode their horses to battle, and fought on foot. At any rate, the warrior I am representing is obviously of the elite warrior class, and is either a senior member of a retinue following, or a minor chieftain.
